Asylum Based i-485

[Nick213]

what did you send for your birth certificate? my attonery gave me a checklist and it says i need show my birth certificates but i don't have it. i can get it at my home country' embassy but i don't want to go there. what should i do?

USCIS says it's optional but I've seen some people getting RFI because of missing birth certificate. Ask someone in your home country to make notarized copy of birth certificate & get it here.

Do anybody have an idea about National Benefit Centers processing time in MO because there's no option to check processing time for NBC, MO

National Benefits Center normally process your application, sends you I-797C receipt form regarding your case,schedule biometrics and complete the background check. Until this point there is no way to track down your application. Once background check/review is completed, they forward your file to local office( or service center) for further adjudication.
Hope it helps!!

Hi, guys. I just checked case status and found update: Case Was Transferred To An Asylum Office

On February 21, 2019, we transferred your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number LIN....., to an asylum office for processing. That office will mail you a decision or send you a request if it needs something from you.

Is anybody got same status? What does it mean? Why NSC transferred my case to an asylum office? Should I worry about that?

Thank you for yours answers, folks!

That means an officer at a service center is unable to verify identity or eligibility or determine admissibility based solely on the available immigration records. Asylum office will go over your I-485 application and makes determination whether you are eligible for adjustment of status or not.

Does anyone know is it any difference between status "case received" and "fingerprint review complete"? does everybody gets the second status? and what is time expectations after it?

Not everybody get "fingerprint review complete". After that is just a wait game, some people change to other status in a few weeks, others in several months.

Curious why so... sounds like this string should be "fingerprint review completed" once the background check is done

Update on my case
I asked here for help few weeks ago. I want to update you on what happened and share my timeline with you. I applied with Texas service center.
Jan 2017 asylum was approved
Jan 2018 applied for Green card
3/9/2019 Recieved request for intial evidence in the mail
[ missing address on I485 and inquiry about the public assitance I received in the past as I forgot to mention it in the original form] . I did not fill another form. I did not ask a lawyer. But, I called the customer service and they transfered me to level 2 officer who told me not to fill another form and just answer the questions. So, I just wrote a cover letter.
3/14/2019 sent the response to the USCIS
3/16/2019 Response was delivered according to the USPS
3/27/2019 Status update online. New card is produced





I need help with request for additional evidence

I filled I- 485 form one year ago and I received today a request for additional evidence. They need some clarification on the form I submitted. Do I need to fill the whole application again or just wrirs a letter with the answers they want? Can someone please help do the right thing or share your experience. Thanks in advance

I have the same status with the same date (February 21, 2019), so probably our cases were travelling in the same truck, lol.
I will keep you posted.

That means an officer at a service center is unable to verify identity or eligibility or determine admissibility based solely on the available immigration records. Asylum office will go over your I-485 application and makes determination whether you are eligible for adjustment of status or not.

Thanks for you reply, this is something new. Usually people say that USCIS transfers cases for workload balance etc., but I never heard about this reason.
Could you share more information about it, please. Where this information comes from.

Thanks.
